I'm not sure if it works on current bbPress versions though.

It works for bbPress 0.9.4 (except for the plugin admin page but that's bearable). It is easy to add other video sources and even modify the RegEx that pulls the link so that videos are embedded with their own tag - [video=the_video_url] for example.

If you want to allow other users to do everything that this plugin allows, you would need to change 'administrate' to whatever permission your users have. I am not going to post exactly how to do it, since I think it could be a potential security hole, but that line right there is the key. Take a look at the plugin and see what I mean.

}

function allow_video_tags( $tags ) {
$tags['video'] = array('type' => array('maxlen' => 10));
return $tags;
}

add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'allow_video_tags' );
add_filter( 'post_text', 'video_embed' );

?>

It allows you to embed video only from YT or Google Video.

Thx

Will come in handy for the site as it grows. Thanks!

if (bb_current_user_can('administrate')) :

to something like this:

if (bb_current_user_can('moderate')) :

That should get it working!

How can I set this so Moderators can also post youtube videos.

Thanks,

Great emoticon plugin, unfortunately not available through the plugin browser.

Thanks for the help.

are you using the Latest Discussions plugin? There is no simple switch to flick that I know of.
The way to do it I think is to find all stickies - perhaps there's an API function, perhaps you need a quick database query - output them, count them and output the remaining number of threads the way it's done now. You could work that into the current plugin. If you don't want to get your hands dirty, perhaps someone will do it for you. :)

No problem,
